* Basic chemicals used for cleaningNote: This Chemical Resistance Chart is presented as a guide only. This does not consider the permeability of gloves, chemical combinations, temperature, length of time that the gloves is in contact with the chemical and thickness of the glove. These factors will alter or effect the performance of the glove. Actual on-the-job testing of gloves is recommended. Always read material Safety Data Sheets before using any chemicals.

Unsupported Gloves (Choosing The Right Glove)
Hands are probably the most industrious part of human anatomy. Selecting the right glove for the job at hand is essential to ensure user safety and product protection. Frontier Safety offers an array of gloves to suit a multitude of requirements. Choosing the appropriate elastomer (glove material) for a given application is a crucial step in selecting the right glove. Listed below are some main factors to be considered.

Supported Gloves - Foam Lined PVC
Our Alaska™ series is ideal for applications involving harsh environments. Featuring a specially formulated low temperature PVC coating, this well insulated PVC style protects against all the elements. Our Alaska™ Insulated PVC gloves remain flexible at temperatures as low as -32° F. We use a four-layer foam based liner that keeps hands warm and dry. All Alaska™ Foam Lined PVC styles are treated with Actifresh to minimize odors by controlling the build-up of bacteria.

Supported Gloves - PVC
Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC is the thermoplastic polymer of Vinyl and Chloride. PVC provides excellent resistance to most acids, oils, fats, caustics, petroleum hydrocarbons, alcohols and glycol ethers. PVC is relatively economical compared to other supported glove polymers and yet it provides reliable abrasion and chemical protection. The resins and plasticizers used to make PVC gloves can be carefully regulated to provide varying levels of chemical resistance. PVC gloves function well in temperatures ranging from 25°F (-4°C) to 150°F (66°C).Our Insulated PVC gloves are made with a special PVC formulation that remains flexible at temperatures as low as -32°F.All premium PVC styles are treated with Actifresh to minimize odors by controlling the build-up of bacteria.

Supported Gloves - Neporene
Like Nitrile, Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that offers reliable protection against a wide range of harmful chemicals. Neoprene is well suited for use with alcohols, acids, ketones, detergents and greases. Neoprene is slightly less abrasion, cut and snag resistant than Nitrile. However, Neoprene gloves have greater elasticity, making them more comfortable and less likely to cause hand fatigue. All component materials of Midas Safety Neoprene gloves comply with all relevant federal regulations for food contact. All Supported Neoprene styles are treated with Actifresh to minimize odors by controlling the build-up of bacteria.

Supported Gloves - Nitrile
Nitrile is a synthetic rubber originally developed as a substitute for Natural Rubber Latex. Nitrile is highly resistant to abrasions, cuts, punctures and snags. In addition, it offers protection against solvents, oils, greases, acids, caustics and animal fats. By carefully controlling the coating thicknesses and linings of our Nitrile gloves, we are able to produce a range of tough Nitrile hand protection suitable for every imaginableapplication. Furthermore, all of our Nitrile Gloves are Silicone free and treated with actifresh.
